Re: Initial D fifth stage

This anime is really a dope, like scav said. I watched the first and second stage two days ago, and may catch up with this one during weekend. A great racing anime indeed. Well, the manga is just fine too.

I’m going to catch up with ID as much as time allows me to. And I was going to catch up with that series you recommended me Tonari but I guess now I will have to find time to catch up with both series.

Re: Initial D fifth stage

Why did Takumi pretend to be afraid of speeding and feign ignorance about car racing? He did that because he didn’t want for his friends to find out about his special tofu deliveries?

nope he didn't really feign ignorance, he was an ignorant xD and as far as i remember Takumi only did the deliveries but never a race. It's not like he really liked it and he wasn't into car racing. As to be afraid i guess it was his first time on the passenger seat xD watch more and you'll understand

Thank you for answering my question, scav-kun! And yeah, you’re right, driving for him was just part of his job and it wasn’t something fun for him; moreover, he had never participated in a race before racing against Keisuke. And since I’ve mentioned that race, it was great! I was rooting for Takumi the whole time. Takumi is an awesome driver and what I like the most about him is that driving is something natural to him; he is not arrogant about it even though he is so great. I also liked how the real motivation for beating Keisuke was not fame or glory it was a full tank of gas and his date with Mogi.

Well…at least he didn’t pass out like Iketani-senpai.

About the new competitor, the music that plays every time that black car appears is hilarious!!

About Takumi’s dad…I don’t know if it happens in the future but I sure would love to see Takumi racing against his dad, I’m really curious about who would be the winner in that race.

Re: Initial D fifth stage

yup im also re-watching atm, im at the episode 14 of the first stage And Ikatani passing out was hilarious.
for his dad it would be interesting if they race later at the end of the manga but so far he learned everything thank to his dad. seems like you're really watching it fast, where are you at?

Wow…you are fast!! You finished the fist season in the blink of an eye, I have just watched until episode 9. Btw, I’m a bit embarrassed to ask this because to you boys this might seem like a silly question but….what is the difference between drift driving and grip driving? I do get what drift driving is but I’m not all that clear about grip driving…

Re: Initial D fifth stage

Well when you start initial D it's kinda hard to stop, that's why i watched it fast. beside i wanna start the 4th stage fast, it's my favorite hurry up and catch up with me
heh it's hard to me to explain it in english but basically grip driving is sticking to the road and turning, you brake, you turn and you accelerate. drifting is holding the tires, slipping and doing large angles. generally on drifting you attack turns at an higher speed than grip but the recovery time is bigger. but like i said that's just generally, it's not always the case. everything depend of the car, the setting and the driver. On another sided definition grip is simply going around the track as fast as possible while drifting is all about doing large angle while slipping

I can’t catch up with you; you’re too fast for me. If ID’s terms, you are Takumi and I’m Kenji.

Thank you for the explanation! I understand things better now, especially Takumi’s race against the NK driver whose name I can't recall atm (Nakao?).
